Pro: The last Dean of the College of Cardinals was elected Pope. Could clean up the Vatican because he knows where “all the bodies are buried”. The ultimate “insider” who at one point was the subject of several conspiracy theories of being the man truly in charge of the Catholic Church.

Con: If Papa Ratzi is too old for the job, then Sodano is too. One of those conspiracy theories believe Sodano is actually a “free mason” who helped write the US Constitution (do the math on his age…the man is OLD!) Also, he knows where “all the bodies are buried” because he likely oversaw their burials. Probably kicks puppies in his spare time.
